"Amber has been playing some very good basketball," said Head Coach Mike Ricks. "This was a great team win though. We were down in the second half, and we had to stick together and grind it out."

The Celts travel to Oklahoma on Jan. 9 for a Jan. 10 matchup with Langston University. Langston is currently ranked sixth in the Red River Athletic Conference, right behind UST. Ricks said the Celts will have be prepared if they want to keep the winning streak alive.

"Langston is the defending conference champion and their gym is one of the toughest places to play in the league,” Ricks said. “We had better be ready to play."
